Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy + | Review

You know I didn’t know what to expect when I started up this game but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy + a lot more than I thought I would.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask | Review

I’ll be honest. I never played the original Majora’s Mask. Way back when the game was released on the Nintendo 64, I never got around to playing it. I sank countless hours into the game that came before it, Ocarina of Time. But somehow I just never got around to this one. I had heard […]

Have you finished up with the likes of CounterSpy, Oddworld New ‘n Tasty and the other free March PlayStation + titles? Well we’re expecting Sony Computer Entertainment America to announce the April 2015 line-up for PS+ early this week on the PlayStation blog.

You may want to be sitting down for this news because it is pretty hefty… Nintendo has announced that The Legend of Zelda for Wii U has been delayed until an unspecified date in 2016. They’ve also stated that the game will not be making an appearance during the company’s E3 Press Conference this June.

Sony has released a substantial update to the PlayStation 4’s firmware that adds a number of exciting options to Sony’s latest home console. Headlining the “Yukimura” update are a whole suite of accessibility options, the long awaiting ability to suspend games when entering rest mode and 60 FPS Remote Play on PS Vita!

The folks over at Jackbox Games – the developers of the absolutely hilarious You Don’t Know Jack series – are Kickstarting a brand new game called Quiplash.

The premise is pretty simple, a prompt appears on your television and two players (… or ten house cats if you’re lonely like me) answer within the time limit. Responses are then displayed on the TV and other people waiting to play locally (or viewers watching your Twitch stream) can answer on their own mobile devices. The player who gets the most votes is declared the winner of the round!

Jackbox Games has a rather ambitious schedule ahead of them as they are looking to ship the game on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PS3 and PC by the end of this summer. They are seeking $15,000 in funding so that they can put some extra resources into the game and it out to the public super quick. As of the writing of this article they are more than halfway there – with over $8,000 in pledges! Read more »

I know that sometimes the term “old school” is thrown around a lot. Talk of any game that looks, plays and feels like it could have been released back in the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System brings that saying to the front.

Zombie Incident is another game that has that look and feel.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the game: Hamartia, the great citadel, became the symbol of human sin. After centuries of excesses its penance was going to come. In the darkness of the night, chaos invaded everything. Beasts started to scream. Nothing was like before! No one sane would go to that place. Join our heroine to explore the citadel, find the eight golden stars, and run away from there!
